So, as you know, Mikey likes to wear my garments on his head. He pretends that it's his hair. Yes, it's weird. Very. And more than a little disturbing. He also likes to carry around Sadie's sparkly pink purse.
My poor mom is trying so hard to help break Micah of these bizarre habits. She actually bought Micah a Man Bag - it kind of looks like a black camera bag. And then she got him some little farm animal toys to go inside.
He hates the Man Bag and hates the farm animals.
Then she tried to help out with his garment-wearing issues. She made him some... oh, I don't know what to call it. Fake hair? A decorative hair piece? She found a piece of silky material, hemmed it all around, and put an elastic on one end so that it sits securely on one's head. A perfect solution.
He hates the hair.
Here is Ben, modeling the hair:
I think Mom has finally given up on trying to make him manly. She gave him a girly toy for Valentine's Day today, one just like Sadie's Valentine's toy. He loves it. :)

Mikey might be quirky, but he is a cute kiddo and it's okay to like girls things... or boyish things for girls! :)
Give him snuggles for me.
Reading you post just now reminded me that one of my cousins used to LOVE to carry around his grandma's garms. He turned out just fine. :) Ruby loves putting things on her head because she wants long hair. Milo doesn't, yet, but I'm waiting for it. :)
hahahahahhaha
LOL!! That's actually some good ideas on your moms part. Too bad they didn't work. He'll grow out of it when he starts going to school and hanging out with boys. He'll be just fine@!:)
Wash the new hair with your garments and then put it where he finds your garments he uses for his hair. Maybe have it somewhere in your clothes or under your pillow so it smells like Mom. I have two nephews that did the same thing. One even called the garments his baby. They both are in high school now. You'd never even no that did it. He'll be fine.
He'll grow out of it. Or he won't. Either way, dude.
